Abstract: | THERE are two principal groups of theories of ageing—those which hold that random cell damage is chiefly responsible for the events characteristic of ageing, which culminate in death and those which hold that ageing and death are genetically controlled. It is too soon to decide between these points of view and in any case Bullough1 has shown that they are not mutually exclusive. So far experiments to test the random error theories of ageing, involving exposure of organisms to unnaturally large or even small amounts of agents such as X-rays and mutagenic agents (for reviews, see refs. 2 and 3), have been controversial and inconclusive. |
